"It used to not be so,"
UI's 'used to be' thinks you installed not web pages!
That's what a lot of people are missing.
With complex UIs, which people see to have forgotten even exist (!) there's a big difference between front-of-the-frontend and back-of-the-frontend.
This is not new, it's 20 years old at least.
- runawaybottle 6y agoI mentioned this in another comment, and it’s odd that this macro outcome is not more obvious. The ‘application’ industry didn’t disappear, it just packed up and moved into the browser. It’s like saying Talk radio is dead. No, it’s more alive than ever in the form of Podcasts. There’s nothing niche about GUI application development, and has always been one of the staple exports of the tech industry. Yeah, it’s all JavaScript and CSS, annoying I know, but could be worse (Java, .net).
